I've worked in this setup before the AI takeover, approx 3 years ago, merger of IT, People (HR) & Places (buildings & facilities). Three critical areas, and it can work really well, but your person at the top has to be a holistic whole business strategist, not a one trick pony who got a promotion!

NEW BLOG POST: It's been a few years since I did any writing but I finished this new #EntraID blog post last night tinyurl.com/36fuy6ct I hope that documenting this helps someone! #Entra #Identity

A picture of a book, showing just the cover. The book is called Ultimate Microsoft Intune for Administrators by Paul Winstanley and David Brook.

AI is an awesome tool. But a reminder you cant blindly follow what it spits out! After spending time working with AI today on a problem it was this book that answered the question that AI couldn't...I grabbed the book becasue experience told me AI was wrong. Rely on your experience! #Intune #MDM #AI

Clipboard history is an absolute game changer, I would say I actually rely on it now!!

This would involve having two Cloud Sync servers on the same domain, each syncing with a different tenant. Each pointing at different user OUs to avoid conflicts.

I know....not the way I would choose to do it, but we have what we have and they won't be setting up a full test environment...

Passkeys for Normal People Let me start by very simply explaining the problem we're trying to solve with passkeys. Imagine you're logging on to a website like this: And, because you want to protect your account from being logg...

I recently had a great meetup with @ncsc.gov.uk largely discussing the importance of passkeys. "I should write up a blog post for normal people", I suggested, then went back to my hotel and got phished 🤦‍♂️ Finally, here's that blog post: www.troyhunt.com/passkeys-for...

Massive congratulations, that's an awesome achievement!!

If you recently upgraded to #PowerShell 7.5.1 like I did, be sure to run Update-Help to ensure everything is up-to-date,

That's amazing, congratulations!! I am trying to loose a measly 20 and that is tough enough!

Updated Driver Automation Tool v8 MSI posted. #HP support added. #Lenovo to follow in the next few days then #Microsoft before adding in Intune functionality. github.com/maurice-daly... #ConfigMgr #Drivers

Love those new views!

I have worked in several environments where controlling the start menu has been extremely helpful. Environments with few apps and less savvy users, to put apps on start menu tiles cuts support calls. Or with young children in schools. Or with very specific use case accounts, like exam accounts.

Driver Automation Tool 8 BETA has a home now - github.com/maurice-daly.... The initial MSI has been uploaded, and updates will continue to be posted over the coming days / weeks. Note the limitations, I am adding functionality in sprints rather than a big release. #ConfigMgr

Hey #configmgr #sccm #intune #w365 peeps. Couple of questions:

Do you have applications that require manual configuration on the end user device before giving it to users?

How many apps require a complex sequence (install order, reboot, etc) to work correctly?

Please repost for visibility 😁

Further great content here from @sccmentor.bsky.social and @ncbrady.bsky.social on #Windows365. Enjoy! #Intune #Windows

I can the first time someone said it to me..."we need an mvp"....I was left thinking, that sounds like a lot of time and effort to move the project along and we are already behind! 😂 I learned quickly I was mistaken😆

Thanks, this is something that is needed/missing in my opinion. I have tried to go down the export and compare route but there are so many lines to compare, I have not found a reliable way of doing it

Anyone know a way to compare #Intune security baseline policy settings with you existing Config Policies? Context: Pretty sure I have all the policy settings in place already, but don't want to introduce Security Baselines if its just going to conflict all over the place! #Windows11 #Microsoft #M365

Windows Autopilot Tool
❄️I cannot believe it has already been 4 years since the first release of my Windows Autopilot tool.

I created the tool to simplify the hw hash upload to the Autopilot service.
